Tonight I finally got around to an upgrade that I'd been planning for a long long time. I installed a hydraulic disc brake on the back of my Rivendell HubbuHubbuH tandem. I'd been making do with XTR V-brakes, but have had a few situations where I definitely wanted a bit more. Now I have a reliable no-nonsense Shimano M447 hydro disc for the stoker to actuate. Shimano hydro discs work absurdly well, are dead simple to work on, cost practically nothing. It's a win win win. I also installed a stoker bell.
One of my favorite stokers is coming back from college for the holidays, so the upgrades serve as a welcome back.
